No - but you seem to be starting one.  This same survey was done last year
if I remember correctly.

Yorkton's an "investment dealer" ... almost looks like S/21 is on the
market (no big surprise there, since I'm sure Geac was surprised at the
state of the product once they gained control of The Company Formerly
Known As JBA.).

Has anybody else heard of any rumors to this effect?
